Serie A 2025/26: Fixture Schedule for Early and Late Kickoffs, Key Matches, and the Relegation Battle

The Lega Serie A has published the official schedule for early and late kickoffs from matchday 13 to 22, taking place from November 28, 2025, to January 26, 2026, featuring high-stakes matches that will define the heart of the Italian championship. The 2025 calendar will close with matchday 17, played from December 27 to 29, while the new year will kick off on January 2 in Cagliari with the Sardinian side facing Milan, and conclude on January 4 at San Siro with Inter vs. Bologna.

Among the most anticipated fixtures are Juventus vs. Roma on December 20 and the Inter vs. Napoli clash on January 11, a match that could prove decisive in the Scudetto race. Additionally, matchday 22 will feature blockbuster games like Juventus vs. Napoli and Roma vs. Milan on January 23 and 24. Other notable matches include Atalanta vs. Inter (December 27) and Napoli vs. Juventus (December 7), confirming a schedule packed with thrilling encounters.

Matchday 6, which preceded the international break, also delivered intriguing fixtures such as Fiorentina vs. Roma and Napoli vs. Genoa. However, the standout match was Juventus vs. Milan, which concluded with great attention from fans and pundits, highlighting the tight race at the top of the table. Before matchday 6, the standings showed Milan, Napoli, and Roma tied at 12 points, closely followed by Juventus with 11. Napoli, fresh from their Champions League victory over Sporting, sought redemption after their league defeat to Milan.

While the title race heats up, tensions rise among the teams at the bottom of the table. Betting odds from major bookmakers indicate that Pisa and Verona are currently the clubs most at risk of relegation, with Pisa sitting last on 2 points and Verona just above with 3 points, despite their draw against Juventus at Bentegodi. According to the odds, Pisa’s relegation is priced between 1.30 and 1.50, while Verona’s ranges from 1.50 to 1.65, depending on the bookmaker. Other teams in the relegation mix include Parma, Cremonese, Lecce, and Genoa, who will need to fight hard in the coming weeks to avoid dropping into Serie B.

The outlook for the upcoming matchdays is thus highly engaging: from the title race with crucial clashes between giants like Juventus, Inter, Napoli, and Milan, to the fierce battle at the bottom to escape the drop zone. The official schedule of early and late kickoffs serves as a valuable reference for fans and enthusiasts planning their match viewing, primarily available on DAZN and Sky.

As Serie A prepares to enter the climax of the season, excitement is guaranteed. Whether you’re looking at the top or the bottom of the table, every match could bring surprises and emotions, and the coming months will be decisive for every team’s ambitions.
